Multi-camera event recording is easier than everThe Matrox VS4Recorder Pro software lets you frame accurately record four live audio/video feeds using a Matrox VS4 quad HD-SDI capture card. Its ideal for recording live multi-camera productions like concerts and sporting events to create video assets that can be easily repurposed and archived. The VS4Recorder Pro gives you two different recording modes: multicam', which provides synchronized frame accurate captures and independent', which offers a wide range of video and audio codecs to choose from. And whats more, VS4Recorder Pro simultaneously provides a complete multiviewer experience.

The efficient, high-quality Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec at up to 300Mb/s is provided in an AVI wrapper. H.264 is provided in either MOV or MP4 wrappers. And DV/DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD QuickTime files are provided in MOV wrappers.

Frame accurate recordingEasily record multiple angles of a single event with 100% frame accuracy with VS4Recorder Pros multicam mode. With a single click, all inputs begin recording in sync.

Each quadrant also provides controls for source recording, audio monitoring, view mode, elapsed recording time and hard drive status in a popover area that appears/disappears on mouse activity/inactivity. VS4Recorder Pro also provides visual cues showing the amount of storage and the length of record time remaining on your target hard drive so you dont miss important content.
